DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Referring to FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B, FIG. 1A is a schematic structural diagram and a schematic top view showing a backlight module 100 in accordance with a first embodiment of the present invention. The backlight module 100 of the present embodiment includes a light source 120, a light guide plate 140, a light-adjusting member 160 and a light source reflector 180. The light guide plate 140 has a light-incident surface 141, a light-emitting surface 143 and a bottom surface 145. The light-emitting surface 143 is opposite to the bottom surface 145, and the light-incident surface 141 connects the light-emitting surface 143 and the bottom surface 145. In one embodiment, the light guide plate 140 is connected to the light source 120 via an adhesive member 130 like as OCA (Optical Clear Adhesive). As shown in FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B, the light source reflector 180 is disposed below the bottom surface 145 of the light guide plate 140 near the light-incident surface 141, and the light-adjusting member 160 is disposed between the bottom surface 145 and the light source reflector 180. Therefore, one portion of light generated by the light source 120 enters the light guide plate 140 from the light-incident surface 141 and emits out from the light-emitting surface 143, and the other portion of light generated by the light source 120 can be reflected by the light-adjusting member 160 and enter the light guide plate 140 from the bottom surface 145 to emit out from the light-emitting surface 143.

Simultaneously referring to FIG. 1A, FIG. 1C and FIG. 2A, in which FIG. 1C is a schematic diagram showing a difference value between a light source chromaticity and a first light guide plate chromaticity and a difference value between the light source chromaticity and a second light guide plate chromaticity, and FIG. 2A is a schematic diagram showing a chromaticity coordinate diagram (International Commission on Illumination (CIE) 1931). In FIG. 2A, numbers 460 nm-770 nm represents light wavelength. As shown in FIG. 1A, a light source chromaticity can be obtained by measuring light generated by the light source 120, and the light source chromaticity can be expressed by a chromaticity coordinate value of one point in the chromaticity coordinate diagram of 1931 CIE. After light generated by the light source 120 is affected by the light-adjusting member 160 and emits out from the light guide plate 140, a first light guide plate chromaticity is measured and obtained from the light-emitting surface of the light guide plate, and the first light guide plate chromaticity can be expressed by a chromaticity coordinate value of one point in the chromaticity coordinate diagram of 1931 CIE. As shown in FIG. 1C, there is a first difference value D1 (or D1′) between the first light guide plate chromaticity and the light source chromaticity. In other words, light generated by the light source 120 has a first color, and light emitting from the light-emitting surface 143 has a second color. The first color is different from the second color.

Simultaneously referring to FIG. 2A and FIG. 3, FIG. 3 is a schematic structural diagram showing a backlight module 200 without using a light-adjusting member. The backlight module 200 shown in FIG. 3 includes the aforementioned light source 120, the aforementioned light guide plate 140 and the aforementioned light source reflector 180, but does not have the light-adjusting member 160 shown in FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B. In the backlight module 200, one portion of light generated by the light source 120 enters the light guide plate 140 from the light-incident surface 141 and emits out from the light-emitting surface 143. The other portion of light generated by the light source 120 is directly reflected by the light source reflector 180 and enters the light guide plate 140 from the bottom surface 145 to emit out from the light-emitting surface 143. Therefore, when light generated by the light source 120 is not adjusted by the light-adjusting member 160 and emits from the light guide plate 140, a second light guide plate chromaticity is measured and obtained from the light-emitting surface of the light guide plate, and the second light guide plate chromaticity can be expressed by a chromaticity coordinate value of one point in the chromaticity coordinate diagram of 1931 CIE. Referring to FIG. 1C again, in the present embodiment, there is a second difference value D2 between the second light guide plate chromaticity and the light source chromaticity. In other words, when the light-adjusting member 160 shown in FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B is not applied to adjust the light generated by the light source 120, light emitting from the light-emitting surface 143 has a third color. The third color is different from the first color and is different from the second color.

As shown in FIG. 1C, in one embodiment, the first difference value D1 (or D1′) is different from the second difference value D2. In the present embodiment, the first difference value D1 (or D1′) is smaller than the second difference value D2. Generally, when light generated by the light source 120 is not adjusted by the light-adjusting member 160 and emits out from the light guide plate 140, unwanted color cast (the second difference value D2) would be caused). When the light-adjusting member 160 is applied to adjust the light generated by the light source 120, a color difference value (the first difference value D1 or D1′) between the light entering the light guide plate 140 and the light emitting out from the light-emitting surface 143 would be relatively small, meaning that the color cast is small. Therefore, the function of the light-adjusting member 160 is to reduce the color difference value between the incident light and the exit light, so as to solve the problem of the color cast caused by the light generated by the light source 120 passing through the light guide plate 140. It is noted that herein, “color cast” described in the present disclosure is denoted by the second difference value D2, which can be easily detected by naked eyes. The first difference value D1 (or D1′) denoted in the disclosure is smaller, meaning that the “color cast” cannot be easily detected by the naked eyes (that also can be considered as no color cast). Generally, because errors usually occur during operation or assembly of a product, the first difference value D1 (or D1′) is within a reasonable and acceptable range set in accordance with user (or client) requirements.

In the present embodiment, the light-adjusting member 160 is colored, and the color of the light-adjusting member 160 also can be expressed by a chromaticity coordinate value of one point in the chromaticity coordinate diagram of 1931 CIE. Therefore, the color of light generated by the light source 120 can be changed by the light-adjusting member 160 before emitting out from the light-emitting surface 143 of the light guide plate 140.

In one embodiment, color of the light-adjusting member 160 is complementary to the color represented by the chromaticity of the light source 120. The complementary colors can be selected by drawing a line segment (for example A1) on the CIE 1931 shown in FIG. 2A, in which the line segment A1 passes through a point P0 in a white color area, and two end points of the line segment A1 are not located in the white color area. Colors represented by the chromaticity coordinate values of the two end points of the line segment A1 are complementary to each other. For example, the chromaticity coordinate values of the two end points of the line segment A1 represent blue and yellowish green which are complementary colors. In other words, if it is desired to adjust the bluish light to a white light represented by the chromaticity coordinate value of the point P0, a yellowish green light-adjusting member 160 has to be used. Meanwhile, the chroma of the color of the light-adjusting member 160 may determine the change magnitude of the bluish light. In other words, the distances between two ends of the line segment A1 and the point P0 can be adjusted according to the chroma of the color.

Simultaneously referring to FIG. 2B and FIG. 2C, FIG. 2B and FIG. 2C are curve diagrams showing color difference variations along a U-axis and V-axis shown in FIG. 2A. In one example, In the absence of the light-adjusting member 160, a line U1 in FIG. 2B and a line V1 in FIG. 2C indicate that the light near a light-incident side of the light guide plate 140 has smaller U-axis and V-axis value, and the light near a side opposite to the light-incident side (hereinafter referred to as “opposite light-incident side”) of the light guide plate 140 has greater U-axis and V-axis values, thus resulting in great color difference value between the light-incident side and the “opposite light-incident side” of the light guide plate 140. After the light-adjusting member 160 is applied, as shown in a line U2 in FIG. 2B and a line V2 in FIG. 2C, the U-axis and V-axis values at the light-incident side of the light guide plate can be increased to be close to those at the opposite light-incident side of the light guide plate 140, so as to reduce the color difference value between the light-incident side and the opposite light-incident side of the light guide plate 140. Therefore, the use of the light-adjusting member 160 can overcome the problem of color cast on the light-incident side without over affecting the color difference at the opposite light-incident side of the light guide plate 140.

Referring to FIG. 1A, FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, in which FIG. 4 is a comparison diagram showing light intensities of backlight modules with the light-adjusting member and without the light-adjusting member. In the absence of light-adjusting member 160, as shown in curve line L1 in FIG. 4, light generated by the light source 120 is bluish white light. In the case of using yellow light-adjusting member 160, after being reflected by the light-adjusting member 160, light generated by the light source 120 can be adjusted into yellowish light (as shown in curve line L2 in FIG. 4). In the case of FIG. 4, when the color of light generated by the light source 120 is bluish white, the light-adjusting member 160 with a mixture color of yellow and red can be used to reduce the energy of blue light wavelength by 8.5% and to reduce the energy of green light wavelength by 5.6%. Therefore, by using the light-adjusting member 160 to reduce the energy of blue light and green light at the light-incident side of the backlight module 100, U-axis value and V-axis value of the light-incident side of the light guide plate can be increased, thus reducing the color difference value. It is noted that, the bluish white light generated by the light source 120 and the yellow light-adjusting member 160 are merely used as an example for explanation, and embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the color of the light-adjusting member 160 is designed according to the color of light generated by the light source 120 or the color of light generated by the light source 120 after entering the light guide plate 140.

Referring to FIG. 1A, in the present embodiment, the light-adjusting member 160 is disposed on the light source reflector 180 and is located between the bottom surface 145 of the light guide plate 140 and the light source reflector 180. In some embodiments, the light-adjusting member 160 is a film formed from ink and can be directly adhered on the light source reflector 180. In other embodiment, the light-adjusting member 160 can be directly printed or coated on the light source reflector 180.

Simultaneously referring to FIG. 1A and FIG. 5, FIG. 5 is a curve diagram showing chromaticity differences between a light-incident side and an opposite light-incident side of the light guide plate affected by different light-adjusting members formed from different ink concentrations. In some embodiments, the light-adjusting members 160 formed by different concentrations of ink have different effects on light generated by the light source 120. For example, the higher concentration of the ink of the light-adjusting members 160 is, the smaller chromaticity difference value between the light-incident side and the opposite light-incident side of the light guide plate 140 will be. For example, the chromaticity difference value between the light-incident side and the opposite light-incident side of the light guide plate 140 generated by using the light-adjusting members 160 formed from 4% ink is smaller than the chromaticity difference value between the light-incident side and the opposite light-incident side of the light guide plate 140 generated by using the light-adjusting members 160 formed from 1% ink.

Simultaneously referring to FIG. 6A and FIG. 6C, in which FIG. 6A is a schematic structural diagram showing a display device 300 in accordance with a second embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 6C is a schematic diagram showing a difference value between an adjusted light guide plate chromaticity and a first display panel chromaticity, and a difference value between an original light guide plate chromaticity and a second display panel chromaticity in accordance with the second embodiment of the present invention. When the backlight module 100 shown in FIG. 1A is applied to the display device 300, after light generated by the light source 120 is affected by the light-adjusting member 160 and emits from the light guide plate 140, an adjusted light guide plate chromaticity is measured and obtained from the light-emitting surface 143 of the light guide plate 140, and the light guide plate chromaticity can be expressed by a chromaticity coordinate value of one point in the chromaticity coordinate diagram of 1931 CIE shown in FIG. 2A. After emitting from the light-emitting surface 143 of the light guide plate 140, entering a display panel 310 disposed in front of the light guide plate 140 and emitting out from the display panel 310, a first display panel chromaticity is measured and obtained from the display panel 310, and the display panel chromaticity can be expressed by a chromaticity coordinate value of one point in the chromaticity coordinate diagram of 1931 CIE shown in FIG. 2A. There is a first difference value D3 between the first display panel chromaticity and the adjusted light guide plate chromaticity. In other words, light emitting from the light-emitting surface 143 of the light guide plate 140 has a first color, and light emitting from the display panel 310 has a second color. The second color is different from the first color. Referring to FIG. 6B, FIG. 6B is a schematic structural diagram showing another display device 300′ in accordance with the second embodiment of the present invention. The backlight module 100 shown in FIG. 1A can also be applied to the display device 300′ shown in FIG. 6B. The structure of the display device 300′ shown in FIG. 6B is similar to that of the display device 300 shown in FIG. 6A, and will not be described again herein.

Simultaneously referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 7, FIG. 7 is a schematic structural diagram showing a display device 400 without using the light-adjusting member. When the back light module 200 is applied to the display device 400, because the backlight module 200 does not have the light-adjusting member 160 shown in FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B, a portion of light generated by the light source 120 enters the light guide plate 140 from the light-incident surface 141 and emits out from the light-emitting surface 143. After emitting out from the light-emitting surface 143 of the light guide plate 140, light enters the display panel 310 disposed in front of the light guide plate 140 and emits out from the display panel 310. Therefore, a second display panel chromaticity is measured and obtained from the display panel 310, and the second display panel chromaticity can be expressed by a chromaticity coordinate value of one point in the chromaticity coordinate diagram of 1931 CIE shown in FIG. 2A. In the absence of light-adjusting member 160, an original light guide plate chromaticity is obtained from the light-emitting surface 143 of the light guide plate 140, which means that the light emitting from the light-emitting surface 143 of the light guide plate 140 and passing through the display panel 310 has a third color. Referring to FIG. 6C again, in the present embodiment, there is a second difference value D4 between the second display panel chromaticity and the original light guide plate chromaticity. In other words, the third color is different from the first color of light affected by the light-adjusting member 160 and emitting out from the light guide plate 140 and is also different from the second color.

As shown in FIG. 6C, in the present embodiment, the first difference value D3 is smaller than the second difference value D4. In other words, in the case of using the light-adjusting member 160, light emitting from the light-emitting surface 143 of the light guide plate 140 and passing through the display panel 310 has less color cast than in the absence of light-adjusting member 160. Similarly, the light-adjusting member 160 is colored, and the color of the light-adjusting member 160 can be designed according to the second display panel chromaticity which is measured and obtained from the display device 400 without using the light-adjusting member 160. Therefore, after light generated by the light source 120 is affected by the light-adjusting member 160, the color of light emitting out from the light-emitting surface 143 of the light guide plate 140 and the display panel 310 can be changed.

From the above, in the absence of light-adjusting member 160, light generated by the light source 120 has the light source chromaticity, light emitting out from the light guide plate 140 has the light guide plate chromaticity, and light emitting out from the light-emitting surface 143 of the light guide plate 140 and passing through the display panel 310 has the display panel chromaticity. Moreover, if the difference value between the aforementioned chromaticity is greater, more obvious color cast will be caused. Therefore, the color of the light-adjusting member 160 can be designed according to the aforementioned chromaticity, so as to reduce the difference value between the aforementioned chromaticity. Take the line segment A1 shown in FIG. 2A for example, a yellowish green light-adjusting member 160 can be used to adjust a bluish light into a white light represented by the chromaticity coordinate value of the point P0. In addition, the chroma of the color of the light-adjusting member 160 can be changed according to the distance to the point P0.

On the other hand, users can request a required chromaticity of a display device, and the light-adjusting member 160 can be used to adjust the light-emitting chromaticity of the display device, so as to adjust the light-emitting chromaticity to be close or identical to the required chromaticity. As shown in FIG. 6A and FIG. 6D, FIG. 6D is a schematic diagram showing a difference value between a required chromaticity and a first light guide plate chromaticity, and a difference value between the required chromaticity and a second light guide plate chromaticity in accordance with the second embodiment of the present invention. In the case of using the light-adjusting member 160, after light generated by the light source 120 is reflected by the light-adjusting member 160 and emits out from the light guide plate 140, a first light guide plate chromaticity is measured and obtained from the light-emitting surface 143 of the light guide plate 140, and the first light guide plate chromaticity can be expressed by a chromaticity coordinate value of one point in the chromaticity coordinate diagram of 1931 CIE in FIG. 2A. If the chromaticity of light emitting from the light guide plate 140 and passing through the display panel 310 is consistent, there is a first difference value D5 (or D5′) between the first light guide plate chromaticity and the required chromaticity. As shown in FIG. 6D and FIG. 7, in the absence of light-adjusting member 160, after light generated by the light source 120 is reflected by the light-adjusting member 160, a second light guide plate chromaticity can be obtained by measuring the light-emitting surface 143 of the light guide plate 140, and the second light guide plate chromaticity can be expressed by a chromaticity coordinate value of one point in the chromaticity coordinate diagram of 1931 CIE in FIG. 2A. If the chromaticity of light emitting from the light guide plate 140 and passing through the display panel 310 is consistent, there is a second difference value D6 between the second light guide plate chromaticity and the required chromaticity. In the present embodiment, the first difference value D5 (or D5′) is smaller than the second difference value D6. In other words, the smaller first difference value D5 (or D5′) means that the light guide plate chromaticity is more close to the required chromaticity requested by users. Take the line segment A1 shown in FIG. 2A for example, if the color of light represented by the chromaticity coordinate value of the point P0 is the color requested by the users and the second light guide plate chromaticity is bluish, a yellowish green light-adjusting member 160 can be used to adjust a bluish light into a white light represented by the chromaticity coordinate value of the point P0 (i.e. the first light guide plate chromaticity). In addition, the chroma of the color of the light-adjusting member 160 can be changed according to the distance to the point P0.

In the present invention, the disposition position of the light-adjusting member can be changed. Referring to FIG. 8, FIG. 8 is a schematic structural diagram showing a backlight module 500 in accordance with a third embodiment of the present invention. In the present embodiment, the backlight module 500 includes a light source 520, a light guide plate 540 and a light-adjusting member 560. The light guide plate 540 has a light-incident surface 541, a light-emitting surface 543 and a bottom surface 545. The light-emitting surface 543 is opposite to the bottom surface 545, and the light-incident surface 541 connects the light-emitting surface 543 and the bottom surface 545. As shown in FIG. 8, the light source 520 includes a circuit board 521 and plural light-emitting diodes 523 disposed on the circuit board 521, and the light-emitting diodes 523 are electrically connected to the circuit board 521. A portion of the bottom surface 545 of the light guide plate 540 is adhered on the circuit board 521 via an adhesive member 530 like as OCA (Optical Clear Adhesive).
